The Park, Wednesday Evening

[reicicled]

It was snowing!

Had been snowing for a while, actually. A lot. Like, a lot a lot. Which Bobby was pretty pumped about.

He was less excited about the power being out, because that meant no TV or video games. Or central heating, but the cold had never bothered him anyway.

So what was a teenager without access to entertainment that required electricity to do but go outside and find other ways to keep from moping about his roommate going home entertain himself?

Like using the massive amounts of snow to create a bunch of ice golems. Which he then made dance, of course.

[ooc: mostly establishy, but also could be open! these are NOT your unfriendly snow monsters, those will be arriving later. this is just ~coiiiiiiincidence~. yeah, nu, i copied you. shhh, bobby is totally a disney princess TOO.]

After leaving the forge, Fenris went for a walk.

Ok, look, he got lost. Flat out, utterly lost in the snow. The power was out, there were no street lights, and even had there been, the snow was coming down thick and fast and furious. When he reached the park, he finally got his bearings.

Just in time to see a bunch of ice golems.. dancing? Dancing.

"What in the name of Andraste's frozen, peaked pale pink TITS?!"

[reicicled]

That was some extremely creative cursing, Fenris!

Did you perhaps need to see those dance moves again? Because they were starting from the top.

[mages_suck]

That was nowhere near creative cursing. That was his old standby. "I saw the movies those dances came from. You are neither welders nor do you have proper spirit fingers!" Fenris accused.

He waggled his fingers, "These are not spirit fingers!" With a small smirk, he phased his hands until they glowed white, "These are spirit fingers!"

[reicicled]

Well, it wasn't anything Bobby had heard before.

And neither was that pop culture reference. Look, he'd come from the 1960s and arrived smack dab in the late 2010s. He'd missed a few things.


So now all the ice golems were pausing their dancing, tilting heads in unison at Fenris quizzically.

[mages_suck]

"Really?" Fenris said, throwing his hands in the air, "I'm not even from this world and I've seen those movies! Come on, they're all over the television thing all night long, how have you missed them?"

....They..they were ice golems, Fenris. They.. probably didn't watch much television thing?

[reicicled]

Well, no. But Bobby did, so it was a wonder he'd missed it.

"What movies?" piped up a voice. It was... definitely not one of the ice golems, for the record.

[mages_suck]

Fenris' turn to headtilt. He wasn't sure which one had spoken, so he replied to the mass in general. "Cheer It On and Dashdance. People fight, only with dance instead of weapons. There is," he assured the golems, "no singing from the characters. Just dancing."

That was important.

[reicicled]

"You don't like musicals?" Did the golems sound a little offended? Well, maybe.

Was it still a stereotype if Bobby was all about the animated Disney kind of musicals rather than the stage ones?

[mages_suck]

"I've seen one," Fenris answered, making a face, "It was awful."

Grease hadn't aged well with the times.

After a moment, he grudgingly added, "The ..cars..were nice. The people were terrible."

[reicicled]

"Maybe... maybe you're not watching the right musicals?" Bobby ventured.

[mages_suck]

Fenris shrugged a shoulder, "That's possible. I have only seen the one."

He was almost curious. "There are better?"

[reicicled]

"Uhh, Frosted, for one!" A beat.

"... Maybe not the best choice for like, right now, unless you're me," Bobby admitted. "Oh! Aladdin!" That I'm not meta-ing because it's based on a folk tale.

[mages_suck]

"Are those on the television..thing?" Fenris inquired curiously. Not that he had spent much time looking for other musicals, but he did spend some time flipping through channels and watching the..entertainments..with a horrified sort of fascination.

[reicicled]

"Oh, probably," Bobby said loftily. "They're Disney, and there's like... a whole Disney channel now."

Also an upcoming streaming service! Which Bobby was two-hundred-percent subscribing to as soon as he figured out how.

[mages_suck]

"What's a Disney?" Fenris asked, baffled, "That's not like 'sick', is it? Supposed to be a compliment?"

Beau had confused him with that.

[reicicled]

"No, no," Bobby said. "Disney's like... this entertainment mega-empire. They make movies and TV shows and they even have theme parks..." a wistful sigh. "Which I've heard are really cool. And by cool I mean, like, fun. Not cold like this. Though I wouldn't mind if it was cold like this more often-" Bobby, you were rambling.

[mages_suck]

There was a bit of blank staring as Fenris tried to take that all in. "They make entertainments for the television thing," he repeated, "And some of them are musicals that are not terrible."

He.. wasn't sure that was possible.

Fenris took in that last part and then gave the golems a curious look, "Are you..from here, or are you visiting for the weekend?"
